On the day meant to celebrate romantic couples everywhere, we look to 14 Houston dynamic duos who are mostly definitely doing it right. Deftly traversing the worlds of sports, food, fashion, business, design, and more, these locals tackle the daily obligations of family, frantic schedules, fame, and all of life's obligations and pressures — yet still manage to make time for each other.

With that in mind, we asked these notable locals five questions about their partner and relationship. Some answers were hilarious, others were poignant, all made it clear why these Houstonians are totally #couplegoals. We may never look at them the same way again.

Cheers, then, to these humble Houston power pairs. We wish them a happy Valentine's Day and nothing but love — each and every day.

Alex Bregman may be a Houston Astros All Star, two-time World Series champion (we'll never forget our on-field Minute Maid Park moment after the Game 6 win), and budding Breggy Bomb magnate, but he's quick to point out that his first role is husband to wife Reagan and now, father to his adorable son Knox. (Also, we can't help but picture little Knox in an Astros uniform one day). Reagan, meanwhile, runs a successful athleisure brand, Exiza, and has been a fixture on local TV as a guest host as well as a popular influencer, with more hosting gigs in her future. Then there's Bregman Family Racing, the couple's foundation, Bregman Cares, and the nonstop life of a celeb couple. However, away from the glam, the Bregmans are all about fam — and are truly a grand slam pair.

Reagan Bregman: I thought Alex was smart and kind.

Alex Bregman: I thought Reagan was beautiful and intelligent.

Bun B and Queenie

No matter where he goes, Houston's Trill OG, hip-hop icon, and unofficial mayor always ensures that the world knows that behind this great man is a great woman, in this case, his wife, Queenie. The couple met in the summer of 1996, and the rest is now hip-hop history. As Bun B prepares to make Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo history again with his Southern Takeover and also launch his first Trill Burgers brick and mortar location, he knows his always immaculate Queen will be steadfastly by his side. Here, our OG fields the questions.

First impression

Bun B: That’s exactly my type of woman. Her looks, build, and laugh did it.

Favorite thing about your partner

Bun B: Her discernment. She can see people and situations for what they truly are.

Something that you lovingly overlook about your partner

Bun B: Let’s just say her sleep habits. But that’s more that mutual [laughs].

Favorite Houston date spot

Bun B: Hidden Omakase.

Your own couple goals

Bun B: Ladrena and DJ January [Queenie's sister and her husband].

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens

She, quite simply, is Houston's G.O.A.T. and the most decorated female gymnast of all time. He may call himself "just a kid from St. Louis" on Instagram, but Owens is also a breakout star and safety for the Houston Texans (and, as we've witnessed, a killer on the runway during fashion shows). Throughout the worldwide scrutiny as Biles navigated the 2022 Tokyo Olympics (and her mental break), Congressional hearings, and finally, some time for herself, she has counted on this stout and suave safety to be her protection. The world now waits as the vibrant — and now engaged — couple counts down to their wedding (an event sure to break the internet.) Our man J.O. fields the questions here.

First impression

Jonathan Owens: My first impression of Simone was that she had an amazing personality, conversation came easy, and she loved to laugh. We hit it off right away.

Favorite thing about your partner

How thoughtful she is. She’s amazing at planning ahead for things, really keeps me on my toes. We are a great balance.

Something that you lovingly overlook about your partner

JO: How early she loves to get to the airport she’s a planner so she always wants to get there at least 2 hours before. Me, personally, I’m more lax about it and usually get there one hour before, but I always make it on time. It’ll stress her out if I have her there that late [laughs].

Favorite Houston date spot

JO: We love to go to Moxies in the Galleria area.

Your own couple goals

JO: We don’t really have any couples that we look up to necessarily, but we love to see LeBron [James] and his wife Savannah and their own family dynamic and how well their kids tuned out.

Aaron Bludorn and Victoria Pappas Bludorn

The celebrated Houston restauranteurs are the power couple behind the eponymous restaurant Bludorn and now, the modern-seafood concept, Navy Blue, which Texas Monthly just named the Best New Restaurant in Texas. The duo met in New York City while working for the James Beard award-winning chef Daniel Boulud and bonded over their mutual love for food and travel. Now parents to two boys, they work side-by-side overseeing booming Houston restaurant destinations.

First impression

Victoria Pappas Bludorn: Well, I couldn't help but think he was super handsome! And still do!

Aaron Bludorn: I thought she was extremely beautiful, poised and confident, a Greek beauty. She was touring the kitchen at Café Boulud, where I was the chef at the time, after she had just beenhired at the main office. We were both in relationships at the time, a few years later we weren’t and when our HR director at Dinex told me she was single and that I should ask her our, I jumped at the opportunity! The rest is history.

Favorite thing about your partner

VPB: Aaron is full of surprises! There's never a dull moment, and he almost always seizes an opportunity to have some fun. It's infectious!

AB: There are so many things but most of all it is her compassion for all those around her. Her love for our children is second to none, she gives her life to others and that is so amazing to me.

Something that you lovingly overlook about your partner

VPB: Aaron gives 100 percent to all that he does and sometimes that means "taking things up a notch." He's going all out for Halloween — no snack sized candy at our house, full sized candy bars; he's getting a new Astros hat every season, flying off to see a concert for 36 hours. All the excitement can wear me out, but the memories are worth it!

AB: Well, there are certain lanes we both have. I recognize that I will be forever in charge of taking out the garbage.

Favorite Houston date spot

VPB: We love to walk to Better Luck Tomorrow for a cocktail then head to Coltivare for dinner.

AB: Coltivare!

Your own couple goals

VPB: My parents and his! My Mom and Dad raised five kids while my Dad built restaurants —I'm so grateful to have a front-row seat to their loving partnership. And Aaron's parents — who traveled the world and instilled a sense of adventure in all three of their boys.

AB: [One of my goals] is to find more time to spend together, both with just the two of us and as a family.
